Interesting. I’ve seen some of you techy guys already commenting on 537 8.1 derivatives.

Anyone got anymore details?

Im geussing the top end and cam is the same or smaller due to the ultra low engine speed. Is 2700 redline?

The 4.5” stroke is interesting too because the internet anecdote machine has determined that 4.5” stroke big blocks beat up their bores.

Looking forward to seeing it marinized and how they modify it for the job.
